[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1578204, member: 18314"] Btw, "Jap" is a derogatory term. Many/most people of Japanese ancestry take offense to it. Brings back memories of American "internment" camps of Japanese-Americans and racism that followed them, including the returning members of the 442nd regiment... the most decorated regiment in US Army history, made up almost entirely of Japanese-Americans. You can't really say that "Jap" refers to only the Imperial Japanese of WWII because Jap is short for Japanese. It refers to the ethnicity as a whole. [/QUOTE]
